I generally don’t see ads due to uBlock Origin. Or am I just not noticing them? Lol.

I’m talking about the results as ads(paid for result ranking). Not as much a thing in DDG but google, they’re awful and you get maybe 2 results a page that aren’t paid promotion.

Freya Holmer did a good video on AI/SEO i think touches a little on this…

I feel the same except Google is worse due to higher number of ads in results and most SEO prioritizes Google over Bing meaning more Google results are AI spam articles.

Dish soap diluted in water also works and is pollinator friendly.

Just a little bit of soap, a few drops in an old cleaner spray bottle filled with water should do it. Too much and you risk sun-burning the plants.
